LG's New Laptops Support Copilot+ PC Features, LG's On-Device AI Tools

The 2026 LG Gram models introduce a new material called Aerominum, which LG says reduces weight while improving durability, the company confirmed in a press release. The laptops use this material for the chassis and meet military-grade durability standards. The company claims the updated design also improves scratch resistance and long-term wear for everyday use.

Some models in the LG Gram lineup will support both on-device AI and cloud-based AI features. These laptops are expected to support Microsoft Copilot+ PC features along with LG's own on-device AI tools, which can function without an internet connection. The devices are said to be designed to handle multitasking, productivity tasks, and AI-assisted workflows.

LG is also adding new connectivity and security features. The updated Gram Link feature allows file sharing and screen mirroring across Android, iOS, and webOS-powered LG TVs and monitors. The laptops also support remote lock and data erase features through LG ThinQ in case of loss, the company confirmed.

The lineup includes the LG Gram Pro 17 (model 17Z90UR), which features a 17-inch WQXGA LCD screen and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop GPU with 8GB GDDR7 memory. LG says this model offers high performance in a lighter form factor. This model will be sold only in North America, the company added.

Another model, the LG Gram Pro 16 (model 16Z90U), features a 16-inch WQXGA+ OLED display and runs on Intel Core Ultra processors. It supports both on-device and cloud-based AI features and is said to target users looking for a balance of portability and performance.
